NVIDIA has Found A Way To activate The 4 GB Of VRAM On GTX 970

In January of this year, it was revealed that NVIDIA had incorrectly stated the number of ROPs (Raster Operation Pipeline, or unit that performs the latest graphics pipeline operations), memory bandwidth, capacity L2 cache and the amount of memory speed on its Geforce GTX 970 GPU.

NVIDIA even earned the scorn of AMD Radeon claiming that their graphics cards really had 4 GB of VRAM. While NVIDIA’s excuse was that remaining 0.5 GB is in another partition reserved for use by other commands.

Almost a year later, NVIDIA has decided to activate the full 4GB VRAM of the GTX 970. NVIDIA has created a page on their site where users can ask for a chip to be attached to their graphics card.

“We have seen our coffers overflowing with money, on the other side, AMD doesn’t sell their graphics card very well, so we decided to pity of our loyal buyers, and give them what they deserve, a performance improvement at 0 cost. “.

This memory chip should be fitted in the free space available on the PCB. After that, you just have to update the BIOS firmware, and cross your fingers.
